Pretty much - but the total of three consecutive long jumps in a row, no pauses.

Also, what's your standing long jump record?

The best I ever did without falling down shortly afterward was 250 cm (8' 2") but I'm usually closer to 7' when I jump. That was a PR jump during a long-jump heavy phase, so I got a lot of practice . . .

Thanks! I don't pull often, so I was surprised as hell at the 30 pound PR. It's not like I've dramatically improved my technique or something. I couldn't even figure out what plates went on to get to 335, I had to ask. Amazing jump in weight. Best part is that I'm only a little sore in the glutes (the medius, mostly) and shoulders, but my back doesn't hurt at all nor do my knees. It was all hip drive, not back flexion.

FWIW, my shins are about 2.5 inches away from the bar when I'm standing but touch when I drop down and pull. As to how I'd pull with my shins touching to start - I'd just roll the bar forward as I crouched down, I'd imagine. I don't know that I'd end up in a different place.
